Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 165

 

The day of the demonstration.

 

Gidan grumbled, “I should’ve just done strength training like Sergey,” but true to his nature of never skipping assigned tasks, he smiled brightly in the public training ground filled with cameras.

 

Dignitaries from countries around the world were seated at the demonstration.

 

What was surprising was China’s participation.

 

Korea had ostentatiously prepared seats for Chinese officials at this demonstration.

 

As if to say, see with your own eyes that the technician you poached with big money means absolutely nothing to us.

 

Lee Soyeon, sitting next to China’s Defense Minister, tracked every movement of Gidan with her eyes. She wore a special telescope to measure the Rail Gun’s speed.

 

‘There must be some kind of trick.’

 

It was absurd that such a small unmanned drone could contain technology capable of Mach 7 speeds!

 

Her pride wouldn’t allow it.

 

She knew how outstanding an ability user the Production-type called by the ridiculous nickname Jjapso was.

 

‘But this is too much. It’s not even some over-technology that would appear in movies (transcendent technology that couldn’t possibly be matched by the technological capabilities of that era).’

 

At most, it would be just a slightly faster auxiliary weapon.

 

However, the tension gripping her heart and the cold sweat that kept flowing were already beyond her control.

 

[“Don’t be nervous. You were the pillar of Korea’s technological capabilities, weren’t you? Have confidence.”]

 

Then the Defense Minister patted Lee Soyeon’s shoulder and spoke.

 

It was quite a caring voice, but the implied meaning was nothing short of subtle pressure.

 

‘Damn it!’

 

Lee Soyeon bit her lip.

 

The moment Gidan demonstrated the new weapon’s speed and power, it would be proven that Lee Soyeon was actually nothing special, and then surely-

 

‘I’ll be cast out.’

 

Just then, a hologram blueprint was projected.

 

Soon after, a massive bio printer began creating a biological structure mimicking an S-rank monster.

 

The shape of a monster standing tall like a tower.

 

Gidan cut through it with a light movement.

 

Then the chick drone that confirmed the target moved.

 

Whoosh!

 

The sight of it drawing electricity from the magic stone as if gathering energy looked quite cute.

 

Seeing this, Lee Soyeon smiled as if somewhat relieved.

 

‘No matter how I look at it, it’s too small.’

 

A toy the size of a fist like that couldn’t generate tremendous electrical energy.

 

‘Right, it’s physically impossible.’

 

However.

 

Zzzzzzap-

 

As the electromagnetic induction projectile passed at a speed too fast to follow with the eyes, the special telescope produced its analysis results.

 

[Mach 7]

 

Mach 7, seven times the speed of sound.

 

The bullet fired by the fluffy and cute chick toy that looked like dandelion seeds traveled 2,381 meters per second.

 

It was undoubtedly a ‘Rail Gun’.

 

One side of her chest seemed to grow cold.

 

Damaged pride. A gap so large it was impossible to follow. An uncertain future.

 

Various facts and emotions rushed in all at once like a torrent.

 

“…I’m sorry, but I think I need to use the bathroom, so I’ll excuse myself for a moment.”

 

Lee Soyeon spoke to the interpreter and hurriedly left her seat. She needed to prepare a new plan before being cast aside.

 

* * *

 

After successfully completing the demonstration, at the State Guest House.

 

The toy drone that had suddenly appeared became a revolutionary new weapon that overturned common sense, leaving a strong impression on each country.

 

America and Japan, who had been leading the dungeon industry technology hegemony, had serious conversations with their groups at the after-party with uncomfortable expressions.

 

There was a mixture of praise for the suddenly appeared genius and concern for their own countries.

 

With the world debut of the genius technician, the Republic of Korea had risen as a hegemonic power chasing after America and Japan.

 

“They’re asking what we should call the Rail Gun creator.”

 

Gidan answered the interpreter with a smile.

 

“You can call her ‘Jjapso’.”

 

* * *

 

And the person at the center of all this attention was sitting in the center of the living room with a reverent heart, hands clasped tightly together.

 

[Grade evaluation in progress… 99%]

 

It was almost time for the grade evaluation of the Mephisto Series Prototype Mk.1 to be completed.

 

Mephistopheles and Veilak sat on either side of the kneeling Gru, watching what she was doing.

 

“…It’ll be an A, right?”

 

She asked with her face flushed red with fervent anticipation-

 

“Myuu…”

 

“Chirp!”

 

Veilak shook his head, and Mephistopheles spread his wings wide and nodded.

 

“…”

 

Gru pouted as she looked at Veilak who was subtly avoiding her gaze.

 

How dare he crush a child’s dreams like this. Mean hamster.

 

“Bay, zombie games are banned now.”

 

Veilak trembled his front paws with a shocked expression.

 

“Myu!”

 

“Hmph!”

 

Mephistopheles climbed up onto Gru’s head and settled down, covering his beak with his wing as he giggled.

 

“Chirp chirp chirp!”

 

“Mooook!” (That scheming little rascal!)

 

At that moment, a window appeared indicating the evaluation was complete, along with the results window.

 

Creativity: S

 

Destructive Power: A

 

Software Logic: C

 

Crafting Proficiency: D

 

Operating Efficiency: F

 

Overall Rating: B

 

‘B?!’

 

Where did the A go?

 

It was too much of a shock.

 

‘Actually, Gru was, actually!’

 

She had even been hoping for an S!

 

This is the world’s Bitter Taste…

 

‘So bitter!’

 

Gru swallowed her welling tears and let the corners of her mouth droop.

 

Sniff!

 

As she sniffled in deep disappointment, Mephistopheles and Veilak came over to comfort her.

 

[Achievement Unlocked!]

 

[Reward modified by (Unknown Title).]

 

[Reward: Would you like to download the 【Crafting Helper for Children】 application?]

 

When she pressed yes, pop! An app appeared on her mobile phone.

 

“Ooh!”

 

When she opened the app, an Unfinished Bear wearing cat clothes greeted her.

 

[Hi! I’m Dami, the Crafting App helper! Try tapping me!]

 

When she tapped the little bear, a bubble appeared. It contained a simple explanation of how to use the app.

 

[Since this is Gru’s first time, Dami will explain a few things! It’s designed for children’s level, so it won’t be difficult to use! Listen carefully~]

 

Wings sprouted from Dami and flew up to the upper left.

 

[First, the thermometer on the main screen shows your little friend’s crafting proficiency!]

 

Gru recalled the name Wuju had taught her.

 

“Mercury Thermometer!”

 

But the thermometer in the app only showed about 10 degrees.

 

‘That’s way too low.’

 

Well, Gru was still only 5 years old, and she hadn’t made that many items yet.

 

‘I still haven’t been able to fix Veilak as a hamster either.’

 

[If you raise your Crafting proficiency, your skill level will also increase and you’ll be able to use more functions, so let’s slowly work on raising it!]

 

“Yeah!”

 

[And try pressing here!]

 

What Dami pointed to was a magnifying glass icon labeled ‘Encyclopedia.’

 

When she pressed the magnifying glass icon, a scanning camera appeared.

 

[Let’s try scanning the item you just crafted!]

 

When she captured the chick drone with her mobile phone camera, a 3D blueprint appeared on the app screen after detecting the item.

 

‘Amazing!’

 

The blueprint could also be converted to an exploded assembly diagram, and it was possible to show parts separately, while arrows and highlighting appeared on parts that could be upgraded.

 

Eyes(😐)→Sensitivity can be increased by replacing eyes with superior parts.

 

Engine(☠)→Efficiency can be increased by replacing magic stone with superior parts.

 

[Try pressing the highlighted parts to check the information! You can use the materials listed below to modify the lacking parts and upgrade the rank!]

 

When she checked the information, materials were listed by rank.

 

“Owaaa!”

 

Her heart was pounding with excitement.

 

With just this app, upgrading crafted items could become much easier.

 

All crafted items!

 

‘Even Excellent Syrup(C)! Even Mephisto Series Prototype Mk.1(B)!’

 

So what should she do now?

 

“Shopping!”

 

If she bought materials and upgraded them!

 

‘A-rank- no, even S-rank crafting might be possible!’

 

Higher rank items = more praise!

 

Good! Gru stood up resolutely, her eyes blazing with fire.

 

More praise would bring more Filial Piety Points.

 

‘Copy items with the Filial Piety Factory and sell them!’

 

Then Gru could become a nouveau riche again!

 

This was the eco-friendly nouveau riche circulation plan!

 

“That day has come.”

 

Gru took out her Quokka Wallet from her bag.

 

The wallet was incredibly thick.

 

She had received a hefty payment for lending items at this Ministry of Defense demonstration!

 

“Long darkness, how…”

 

Now was the time to escape from the darkness.

 

Time to open the sealed nouveau riche wallet!

 

Gru covered one eye and laughed wickedly.

 

Mephisto, sitting on her head, also covered one eye with his wing and chirped sinisterly.

 

Veilak clicked his tongue while watching the two idiots.
